Over the decades, the company where I work has hired dozens of middle school, high school and college students. About half of them have gone on to entrepreneurial careers. Several have become coin dealers either at this company or elsewhere. Others have become a certified public accountant, attorney, international sales, bank loan officer, florist or jeweler. The percentage of student employees who have gone on to entrepreneurial careers is many times higher than the overall average.

Might I suggest that being able to work at a coin dealership could prove more beneficial in the future to students than jobs where you might feel like you are only part of an assembly line.

Most businesses generate revenues in only one direction. To work at a coin dealership, an employee needs to have greater mental agility. Depending on the specific company, an employee might be called upon to either buy or sell, to work with retail or wholesale customers, in an environment where the inventory needs or cash flow requirements of the business are constantly changing, and where precious metals products can often experience 20,000 price changes during a day.

There are many lifelong coin dealers who first worked in the industry while they were students. If they become numismatists at a young age, the knowledge they accumulate may give them a jump-start toward an advanced rather than an entry-level position at a coin dealership.
